ANYWAY

i was whoring the vic wasteland like always when Rekin posts up a sale link to an 89 r32 sedan and suggested i purchase it. i took it as a joke but, 2 weeks later this happened...

1989 R32 GTST, full GTR front end, GTR interior and a bride seat. motor was rooted but it was a good buy for 2 grand.

i was planning on just gutting it and making it a budget drift car but the more we stripped off it, the more i realised it was actually a fkn pearler for a 23 yr old ex drift car!

The tear down. i found $20 in change.

Glass out.

found a small rust hole, cut out and a new panel made up.

Then, it became a 300zx

cleaned and rubbed down the engine bay, and then i primered it.

got some BL0 Greyish Blue pearl put into a couple of cans and painted the engine bay.

more to come..

check inside the car under the carpet on the sills in the front. that $2k car may blow out to $20k if you are not careful

[Mohsen]

thats the first thing I checked Chris, nothing!

[Chris Rogers]

good boy

[Mohsen]

I bought these....

and this

and this (in AWESOME condition)

painted the engine bay

and picked up some genuine R32 sedan plastic rear pods (THANKS RTUNE!)

as she sits now, new rb20 should be in by this week end, interior in by the week end after that and then off she goes for the bulk of the body work.

fun times and sore wallets ahead.

what condition is the roof in?

I bought the LAST glass in existance, the motors are still available though. since you have the car down pull that roof , strip it and clean it out. doing that made a world of difference to mine.

motor part # is: 91295-01U14. its a $500 bit as used in a S15.

[Mohsen]

i know you did LOL, the sunroof is actually very very clean, getting the motor rebuilt next door (mates rates ftw)

the only downside is the fibreglass ring around the sunroof is chipped etc, panelbeater is going to repair that little strip.

[Chris Rogers]

yep you have the glass style that I bought. the early one is steel and rusts. I would still tear it down and clean the crap out of the rails. that part of the reason they fail.

[Mohsen]

awesome, ill do that tonight once i get the flywheel off.

[adamskill]

nice one lad. they the same rims as you had on the 34?

[zebra]

Looks good

are you going to do anything to the rear doors to meet up with the wider gaurds?

[Mohsen]

nice one lad. they the same rims as you had on the 34?

thanks, yep, the 32 is on the rotas now.

Looks good

are you going to do anything to the rear doors to meet up with the wider gaurds?

yep, comes with the door panels. same kit as this.

[zebra]

Very neat!

I want a 32 4 door now lol

[turboedsloth]

That looks hot. What widebody kit is that?

[babyskyline]

As above^^^

[Mohsen]

They are GTR spec BN 4 door flare copies.

[Mohsen]

just bought some goodies

stock GTST airbox OMFG WTF yeah, took me that fkn long to find a complete one...

excedy oem replacement clutch and spigot, no point buying a heavy duty when im going to drop a 2630 + twin plate and 5 speed 33 box behind it.

interior odds and ends (bought a big box with a rear seat, carpet, trims etc) should arrive on monday. pumped!

[Mohsen]

UPDATE

got bored one night and mocked up the fenders.

then my carpet and back seat came so i put it all in

cute pink clutch, ended up going heavy duty

after a lot of cursing in various languages, we got this engine in.

car goes to my mechanic next week so he can get her started, and then off to the panel shop.
